HornFan2 asked Chuck Barrett:

How hard was it to write Blown?

Chuck Barrett Actually, BLOWN was very easy to write. I just set the action in drive and let her rip. Most of the scenes happened as I wrote them. In other words, I had no outline or plan of action, even for the twists. Something would happen and I would just let it play out on its own. I had as many surprises as the reader...and the same ones.

I had a wonderful group of subject matter experts who kept me in line and on track as far as procedure or subject matter...like the Mafia.

Life got in the way a couple of times and interrupted the writing process, but not to a great extent. I was still able to crank it out in a reasonable amount of time.

Thanks for your question... and SO SORRY it took so long to reply.
